| 0:00.0 | A seventh American service member has now been killed and the civilian death toll continues to rise in Iran and across the region. Also you have a new video adding to the evidence that the United States is responsible for killing 175 people, most of them children at an Iranian's girls school on the first day of the war. And then of course we're gonna have to talk about Iran officially naming its new supreme leader, oil prices reaching their highest levels in years, and Donald Trump now demanding total surrender. But where we'll start is with this new video that was published by a semi-official Iranian news agency, though it has also been verified by outlets like the New York Times and Bellington. Right in the video, it shows a Tomahawk cruise missile striking a naval base beside the school on February 28th, with a camera then panning to the ground and showing what was left to the school. And the reason this is such crucial evidence is that the United States is the only force in this war that uses Tomahawk missiles. |

| 0:38.7 | that uses Tomahawk missiles. But it's already launched dozens of them over the course of the conflict, starting from the very first day that it began. That's also, according to videos published by US Central Command, as well as statements by General Dan Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs' Staff, who set a press briefing on March 2nd. The first shooters at sea were Tomahawks unleashed by the United States Navy. |
| 0:56.8 | Closed in on March 2nd. The first shooters at sea were Tomahawks unleashed by the United States Navy, |
| 0:57.0 | closed in on Iranian naval forces, and began to conduct strikes across the southern flank in Iran. |
| 1:03.0 | But also, before this new video was released, evidence pointing to U.S. responsibility, it's been piling up. |
| 1:08.0 | The Times, for example, had already looked at satellite imagery, social media posts, and other verified videos conclude that the strike appeared to have been part of an American attack on the naval base. You also had other outlets figuring the same, and there have also been reports that the US military's own investigation is approaching the same conclusion, although it notes that it didn't target the school on purpose. Instead, it may have been hit by accident, possibly thanks to faulty intelligence wrongly identifying the school building as part of an Iranian military installation. And actually with that, satellite images show that the building had been part of the naval base as late as 2013, but that by 2016, it had been walled off from the installation. But with that change happening more than a decade ago, it still leaves open the question of how do the US possibly rely on such outdated intelligence? So then also, none of this explains why Trump, despite officials saying that the investigation's ongoing |
| 1:47.0 | and despite having no evidence, is telling reporters that actually Iran was responsible. |
| 1:51.0 | We think it was done by Iran. |
| 1:53.0 | Because they're very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. |
| 1:57.0 | They have no accuracy whatsoever. |
| 1:59.0 | It was done by Iran. |
| 2:00.0 | 75 people? Based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran. But then you have the question of, well, how accurate is the U.S. with its weapons? Or because in addition to the school strike, you have the Iranian Red Crescent Society saying that roughly 10,000 civilian structures across the country have been damaged, including homes, schools, and almost three dozen health facilities. And while right now, no outside organization has been able to verify that, you did have the World Health Organization confirming more than a dozen attacks on health infrastructure, leading to the deaths of at least four healthcare workers. Also, you have the BBC documenting damage during US and Israeli strikes on at least two schools, a hospital, and even a UNESCO World Heritage site. You've also got the group human rights activists in Iran reporting that the civilian tolls past 1,200 compared to only 187 in the military with more than 300 deaths still unclassified. But in the face of all this, you've had the Defense Department defending itself, with, for example, U.S. Central Command, issuing what it called a warning to Iranian civilian yesterday on social media, saying that it comes as Iran's terrorist regime blatantly disregards the safety of innocent people and adding, |
| 2:54.2 | the Iranian regime is called a warning to Iranian civilian yesterday on social media saying that it comes as Iran's terrorist |
| 2:51.1 | regime blatantly disregards the safety of innocent people and adding, the Iranian regime is using |
| 2:55.1 | heavily populated civilian areas to conduct military operations, including launching one-way |
| 2:59.2 | attack drones and ballistic missiles, and saying this dangerous decision risks the lives of all |
| 3:03.2 | civilians in Iran, since locations used for military purposes lose protected status and could become legitimate military targets under international law. |
| 3:09.3 | But to be clear there, right? Just being military targets in civilian areas, it doesn't give an attacker free reign to just let loose. International law is more complicated than that. And that's also, as you have Iran now accusing the United States of attacking civilian infrastructure with no military purpose. |
| 3:22.3 | So the country's foreign minister writing a statement on Saturday that the US committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant and claiming the water supply in 30 villages has been impacted and adding, attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. |
| 3:35.0 | The US set this precedent, not Iran. |
| 3:37.0 | And then with that the next day, Bahrain announced that an Iranian drone had caused material damage to a desalination plant there, although there was reportedly no impact on water |
